SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24, 24-48, 48-72, and 72-96 hours postoperation, and at day 60

Population: Three patients withdrew consent from the control group (Bupivacaine 0.5% with adjuncts) and one from the liposomal bupivacaine group. The rest is missing data from lost to follow-up.

Pain assessment is categorized as minimum, maximum, and average pain scores reported by patients using questions from the Modified Brief Pain Inventory-short form (MBPI-SF) during the following intervals; PACU-24, 24-48, 48-72, and 72-96 postoperative hours, and at day 60. This form collected minimum, maximum, and average on a numeric pain scale (0-10) where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: POD4 - 60 days

Population: One patient withdrew consent from the Liposomal group just prior to 60 postoperative days, and three patients withdrew consent from the control group at the end of days 2, 3, and 4. The other missing data is from patients who lost to follow up from both groups.

Patient overall satisfaction with pain control was assessed two times; on the fourth and the 60th postoperative days. It was assessed using a numeric scale (0-10) where 0 is very dissatisfied while 10 is extremely satisfied. The results indicated only the percentage of participants who reported a 10/10 satisfaction rate.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At PACU and Postoperative day 2

Population: Although one patient from the control group decided to withdraw consent at the end of the second day following surgery, their data was included for this outcome as the withdrawal happened after collection. However, there was some missing data.

On a distress scale of (0 -10) with 0 = not at all and 10 = very much distressed, the scores were gathered and the results are grouped to show the percentage of either the presence of distress (any positive score) or no distress, assessed at two times; at the PACU and the second postoperative day.

The Motor function was assessed by shoulder abduction and elbow flexion using the Oxford scale of muscle strength grading (Muscle Grading Scores 0-5): 0= No detectable muscle contraction (visible or palpation) 1. Detectable contraction (visible or palpation), but no movement achieved 2. Limb movement achieved, but unable to move against gravity 3. Limb movement against the resistance of gravity 4. Limb movement against gravity and external resistance 5. Normal strength The results were grouped to show the return of any movement at the PACU, Day 1, after Day 1 (day2-60), and on day 60. And the return of full movement between day 2 and 60 and at day 60, in addition to the missing data.
